About This Quote

I am a person of action and have been told that I have a very high standard of expectation from myself. When i build my goals, I am very clear about what I want to achieve and how I am going to achieve it. Most of the time, I am able to build my goals on things that I have already mastered. In fact, one of the best ways to reach any goal is by doing what you have been doing before, but better.

If you have been cooking healthy meals all your life and recently decided to cook a healthier meal each day, then this is a great way to start your new healthier life. You can't really move forward until you look back.
